Rolling into Acceptance: After a Year with My Wheelchair
August 21 2020

It’s been a year now since I received my wheelchair and this is the first time I have felt comfortable being photographed in it. So I thought it would be a nice first post, as it has become my new favourite photograph with my daughter.
I have been through a lot over the last two decades and I am now ready to embrace the new me and to share my experiences in order to help others.
I would love to get an electric wheelchair or scooter as it would give me more independence but unfortunately my current flat is not suitable. So for now I need to come to terms with being pushed around. I just feel like I am too heavy to be honest, especially when my brother tells me I am and I don’t want to cause anyone to strain themselves on my behalf. Now I can relate to how my mum possibly feels.
To me it feels like I am a burden on others when I have to ask for help to get around. So on that note, I have to say a huge thank you to one of my best friends for taking me out to the park for a lovely picnic and racing my nieces on their scooters in it just for a moment of exhilaration.
We had a lovely day, it was four years to the day I laid my youngest daughter to rest and for the first time, I felt okay about being around my family and enjoying their company, until I got home and thought about the fact that I felt okay. Obviously the feeling is not going to go away but it does get easier to cope with I think. Especially when I have the hope of seeing my beautiful girl again in the future. After all that is what God promises in the Bible. So, I am most definitely looking forward to that, along with no more sickness, pain or suffering. Living in peace, harmony and good health instead.❤️
